He told investigators that Murray was the coach of his Maryland City Mustangs youth soccer team from 2008 throught 2012, according to charging documents.

Cherlynn Venit, the treasurer and registrar for the overall youth league, said police had asked for complete rosters of Murray’s teams back in November.

She said that Murray coached for three to four years, adding that he’d only coached the team for as long as his son was on the team.

“He has not been with us for at least three to four years,” Venit added.

Lisa DiGiacinto, business administrator with the county Recreations and Parks department which oversees the league, said Murray last passed a mandatory background check in 2010. She said youth coaches are required to complete the checks every three years.

Neither Murray nor his attorney were immediately available for comment.

Following interviews by detectives, police obtained an arrest warrant for Murray. He turned himself in without incident and was released on a $25,000 bond.
